Kenna:“Victoria is rated ‘fittest city in Canada’ because Statistics Canada shows more people walk, bike and work out than in any other city — 36 per cent of adults are active, double the national average.

It’s not just the mild weather year-round that’s the reason for this distinction. It’s the attitude.

Talk to locals and they’ll ask what you do to stay fit, rather than bother about your career choice. They’re keen to share their favourite green spaces, best trails, most popular view-while-in-motion, and best deals on gear. (I had serious kayak lust at Ocean River Adventures.)”
